The EPA finalized new rules for models of semi-trucks, buses and other heavy-duty vehicles released from 2027 to 2032 in a bid to cut greenhouse gas emissions.
Loos said the final rule would result in over a billion bushels of corn lost by 2033.
The EPA's summary predicts the final rule will cost $870 billion in vehicle technology.
The lawsuit argues the rule's astronomical price tag requires congressional authorization.
"EPA's light duty vehicle rule is unlawful and harmful to consumers, our economy and our national security," said AFPM CEO Chet Thompson.
"We are confident the court will agree that Congress has not authorized the EPA to effectively ban the sale of new gas and diesel cars and overhaul the U.S. economy in such a major way." The Western States Petroleum Association believes California's ban on sales of new gas cars and trucks is the inspiration behind the new EPA policy.
"Thankfully, Congress never empowered either to take vehicle choice away from U.S. consumers, which is why we are challenging EPA's rule in court," said WSPA CEO Cathy Reheis-Boyd in a statement.
